Yesterday I introduced all of you to my new favorite site to purchase fabric, Online Fabric Store. Today, I’m excited to share one of two projects that I recently completed using part of my most recent order…
Easy Cloth Napkins
To make a set of four cloth napkins, you’ll need:
1/2 yard of desired fabric
coordinating thread
pins
scissors or rotary cutter & mat
iron/ironing board
sewing machine
For each napkin, I cut a 14 inch square of the fabric. Using a rotary cutter and cutting mat is always the easiest way to cut fabric in my opinion, but scissors work great as well!
Once I had each piece, I ironed a double 1/2 inch hem on all four sides of each square, so my once 14 inch napkin is now 13 x 13 inches.
YUCK! Remind me that one of my next projects needs to be a new ironing board cover!
After ironing all four sides, I pinned each corner and then began to sew.
Sewing all four napkins took no time at all.
I really like the back of them too for some reason. The hem looks really nice to me.
Soon I had a beautiful set of cloth napkins to go along with my Picnic-Style Place Mats.
Check back next week to see how I created my Picnic-Style Place Mats!
Don’t forget, if you like the fabrics I’ve chosen, check out Online Fabric Store for other beautiful prints!
I’ll be linking up at these fabulous parties!
I wrote this review for Online Fabric Store, and was compensated with product. As always all opinions are 100% my own!
Love these! I just need to buckle down and make some. Party at my place if you feel like sharing!
Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much for sharing this! We don’t use paper towels, so we go through a lot of cloth napkins. I definitely think I could whip some of these out.
Awesome! So glad you found the post then 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!!
Those fabric patterns are gorgeous.

I’m visiting from Happy Hour Friday linky party. I really like the colors you used. I’m pinning this on my To Do board. I would love if you come visit me at calliescrafts.blogspot.com. ~ your new follower
That’s awesome that you stopped by! I’ll head over your way and say hello too 🙂
LOVE the fabric you chose for the napkins! It’s so fun! I love your placemats, too 🙂 Glad you linked up at Shine on Fridays!
Thanks Kirsten!! Love linking up at Shine on Fridays…wouldn’t miss it!!
What kind of fabric did you use? I see the link you posted for the online fabric store but did you use a quilting, home decor or another type of fabric? I am not very familiar with all the different types of fabric and want to make sure I get the proper weight.
This particular fabric was actually upholstery fabric. I’m sure any heavier “home decor” type fabric would work just fine though!
Thanks for linking up to Whimsy Wednesday! Your project has been featured this week!
